Price Concessions - starting to reduce?
The latest price concession information for January has been released by the PSNC (in fact, two sets of data in quick succession). The PSNC have also stated that they are “still in discussion with the DHSC regarding further January 2018 price concessions”. Therefore we have made some calculations based on what we know at the moment - as soon as there are changes we will update this blog. For January 2018, on the surface price concessions look better than in previous months, with an estimated impact of about £12.6 million. This brings the total for the financial year to date to approximately £297 million. This is based on an estimated actual cost, using November data for December and January, so there will be slight changes when the actual data is available.
